I’m seriously thinking of just taking the huge loss and cashing out my IRA. I know I should have done this earlier like many others here, but if the bottom is coming, I can at least get a little back.

But come on, we DID stop global warming already. Was this the coldest inauguration in history?

Don’t do it! Horde the cash you already have or that’s coming in, but leave the stock alone. Things are so bad with the stock market right now that you will get very little if you cash out. If you leave the stocks alone, however, they may be worth a great deal in five or ten years. Try to hang in there without cashing out stocks.

I’ve been thinking the same thing.

Question is; Would a greenback be worth any more than a lesf of lettuce?

Sigh. I tried to do that back in November and my broker talked me out of it. Should have ignored him.
